Climate management and greenhouse gases

The combination of greenhouse gas emissions, produced directly or indirectly, by people, organizations, products, events or geographical regions and expressed in terms of CO2 equivalent, make up the carbon footprint, as a way of quantifying the impact that an activity or company process has on climate change. According to the GHG Protocol, the carbon footprint consists of the following scopes:

Scope1	Scope 2	Scope 3
Direct from fixed and mobile sources	Indirect due to energy generation bought from third parties	Other indirect emissions within the supply chain

Our corporate sustainable development goal in terms of Emissions is reducing, by 2030, our greenhouse gas emissions (direct and indirect) by 50%, with a 2018 baseline.

Goal 13.3: Improve education, awareness, and human and institutional capacity regarding climate change mitigation, adaptation to it, reduction of its effects, and early warning

	2018 Baseline	2019	2020	Meta al 2030
Performance in MtCO₂e	2,396.0	2,450,0	2,142.0	1,198.0 (-50%)
Annual variation in MtCO₂e		54.0	-254.0	-1,198.0
% of progress to the goal		-4.5%	21.2%	100%

Footprint in MtCO₂e

	2017		2018		2019		2019
Total emissions	6,109		6,609		11,004		10,850
Scope 1	1,834	30.02%	1,954	29.57%	2,002	18.19%	1,965	18.11%
Scope 2	518	8.48%	442	6.69%	448	4.07%	177	1.63%
Scope 3	3,757	61.50%	4.213	63.75%	8,544	77.64%	8,708	80.26%

CMPC has carried out a complete study of its scope 3, expanding its emissions inventory and including all the categories of the GHG Protocol, therefore, variation with respect to 2018 is not an actual increase, but the result of inclusion of the new categories. In the near future, the company expects to model a target, once again using SBTi methodology, beginning to work on priority areas of emission reduction.
